I bet Hussein's pucker factor just went up by about 20%. You know he's got to be wishing Bin Laden would just shut the hell up right about now.

I still believe that bin laden is dead, and has been nothing more than a few smears of DNA for 14+ months now. The tape is a fake, just as the other relatively recent ones were.

How very soliticious of Osama, to think of his good friend Saddam, in his hour of need. Just when Saddam was managing to tuck that genie back in the bottle, by denying any connection between the Baghdad regime and events of September 11, 2001, here comes a most incriminating association.

How do you say, "Aw, CRAP!" in Arabic?

LOL - on the DU the stupid people thought that Osama said Kill Saddam and are ranting about how Osama is on their side. Jeeze they do have pipe dreams don't they?

Al-Qaeda would love to have a sovereign territory allow them in but those days are past. I am sure you read how al-Qaeda transformed itself after the taking of Afghanistan. al-Qaeda --allied with Hezbollah and Chechens has learned a lesson.

Get the Americans inside urban centers and ambush them like their allies did the Russians in Grozny, Americans in Beirut and Israeli convoys along unwatched roads.

Afghanistan has no urban centers fromw hcih to do this and America has tens of thousands of Muslims that would fight al-Qaeda there anyway for their American allies for sheer hatred of the Taliban-al-Qaeda Arabs.

But in Iraq we have no tribal contingents we can trust to do the fighting for us and the Iraqi chaos would allow al-Qaeda to operate near its homeland.

The above is something I have been posting as a warning for a while now.

So be it. We can destroy al-Qaeda when they stand and decide to fight in the urban centers of Iraq.

Finally, the East wind is blowing for war! Is our CIA making this up, or is it for real? Wonder if France,Germany, Russia are having a rational moment to think seriously on this new tape evidence? Grassontop

I wonder what all of those dims who thought the case had not been made for the connection of al-quida and Iraq collaberating are thinking now.

I repeat, Al Jazeera, please provide just one photo of bin Laden with a current copy of the NYT.

Otherwise, bin Laden has bin dead.
